Vikes to treat Griffin like a running back

If Robert Griffin III starts at quarterback for the Redskins on Sunday, the Vikings won't be treating him like a normal QB. Defensive end Everson Griffen says they have to "treat him like a running back." Griffin has 241 rushing yards, which is more than Titans' tailback Chris Johnson.

Things are looking on the bright side for Cedric Griffin. After two major knee surgeries, a benching and being cut by the Vikings, the defensive back is getting a fresh start in Washington. The Redskins signed him to a a one year contract worth as much as $2.5 million.

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III continues to improve after suffering a mild concussion on Sunday. He passed multiple tests on Tuesday and was cleared for practice. If he remains symptom free he'll play on Sunday.

Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III is going pro. The dual-threat quarterback from Baylor is expected to be drafted within the first six picks of the draft. The Vikings hold the No. 3 pick in the draft, but are believed to be satisfied with Christian Ponder and Joe Webb at quarterback.

Vikings general manager Rick Spielman has publicly expressed interest in trading the No. 3 pick in the draft to stockpile early round picks. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Rams will trade the No. 2 pick, likely to a team hoping to draft Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III. Such a deal would lower the Vikings' chances of a blockbuster trade.
